G.E. Dilley Building
Palestine, TX, 75801 US / TX
Location Description
The building was constructed in 1882 for George Edward Dilley, a prominent citizen of Palestine. Architectural embellishment is characteristic of the Victorian Italianate style, as evidenced by the elaborately detailed parapet on the façade and the segmental-arched hoodmolds on the second floors of the south and east elevations. In 1993, a restoration project began that ultimately wasn’t finished until 2006 when the Palestine Chamber of Commerce moved in. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
